Canada's Corey Conners in 3-way tie for lead after 2nd round of PGA Championship

Oak Hill is delivering a little bit of everything at this PGA Championship. One constant is Scottie Scheffler, who is getting used to chasing majors.

A frost delay at the start gave way to warmth and wind Friday morning before rain showers brought out the umbrellas in the afternoon. The American was steady as ever, posting a 2-under 68 that gave him a share of the lead with Canada's Corey Conners and Norway's Viktor Hovland.

"The rain ... just thankfully we didn't have any wind, so that kind of helped us out," Hovland said. "With that rain, the ball went a little bit short. And if you're in the rough, it tends to make that rough a little bit juicier. At the end of the day, it makes the greens softer, and you can maybe be a hair more
